Spell ID Finder?

I am trying to find out how to find spell ID's for specific spells. I'm thinking I could run a macro script to mouse over a particular spell then have it print the spell ID or whatever info I need in console chat.

Does anyone know of a better way to find a spell ID?

To clarify... Look up the spell on Wowhead and the ID will be the numbers at the end of the web address for the spell's page (other db sites have this layout as well)

If you can link the spell, just do a /dump "[Spell Link]". That'll output text to your default chat frame; you can find the spell ID by looking for a spell:12345: segment in that string, 12345 being the spell ID of the linked spell.

If you are using OpenRDX, there is the following function :
local spellid = RDXSS.GetSpellIdByLocalName(name);

name is the local client localization of the spell, "Regen" in french (renew us).

That also mean we are storing all spell in a local database.

if you only want spells you know, then you can GetSpellLink("spellname") to get the spell link, then the spellID can get pulled from that.

Code:

local spellLink = GetSpellLink(spellName)

if spellLink then

    local spellID = spellLink.match("spell:(%d+)")

    print(spellID)

end

should work

I use this to show ids on myself or target:

Code:

 :

        elseif (msg=="showbuffs") then

                PowaAuras:ShowAurasOnUnit("Buffs", "HELPFUL");

        elseif (msg=="showdebuffs") then

                PowaAuras:ShowAurasOnUnit("Debuffs", "HARMFUL");

 :



function PowaAuras:ShowAurasOnUnit(display, auraType)

        local index = 1;

        local unit = "player";

        if (UnitExists("target")) then

                unit = "target";

        end

        PowaAuras:Message(display.." on "..unit);

        local Name, _, _, Applications, Type, Duration, Expires, Source, Stealable, shouldConsolidate, spellId = UnitAura(unit, index, auraType);

        while (Name~=nil) do

                PowaAuras:Message(index..": "..Name.." (SpellID="..spellId..")");

                index = index + 1;

                Name, _, _, Applications, Type, Duration, Expires, Source, Stealable, shouldConsolidate, spellId = UnitAura(unit, index, auraType);

        end

end

macro:

Code:

/dump GetSpellLink'Shadow Bolt'

EDIT: Seems I was wrong, iirc it did also print the id as second argument, but it does not :S
